Peru's Labor and Employment Promotion Ministry (MTPE) reported that —to date— 670,000 families have received the Bonus for Independent Workers worth S/760 (US$223).
That is to say, 670,000 households out of the 773,000 that are expected to receive such grant in the context of the health emergency.
However, the MTPE warned that more than 40,000 households in Lima Metropolitan Area and Callao have not collected their subsidy yet.
The districts with the most beneficiaries are San Juan de Lurigancho, San Martin de Porres, Santiago de Surco, Callao, Comas Lima, Ate, Los Olivos, Chorrillos, San Juan de Miraflores, Villa El Salvador, and Villa Maria del Triunfo.
To verify if a household has been selected to receive the Independent Bonus, its members shall visit the website (
bonoindependiente.pe), type their ID number and date of birth.
